  • I Have A Question

    From MIKE POWELL@21:1/175 to MARY4 on Sat May 4 15:27:00 2024
    ³i need a parallell to ethernet adapter for my XT laptops (8088 book and amstrad
    ³ppc640) the xircom one is just too expensive
    ³i wondering about diy or opensource solutions for it?
    ³i need dos packet drivers for it too

    You might try searching for pi zero or aurduino projects to create a DIY adapter. I have never tried one, and don't know that this particular combo
    is one I have ever seen, but I do know there are some projects out there
    that use a pi or an aurduino to make adapters.
